He seems to like D and its flexibility. He didn’t explicitely talk about 
that, though. I’m not sure how to lable the level :) I think it was some 
sort of course for beginners in D but with at least some background in 
programming. They covered IO, networking, GUI et al, using Tango.

Well, there’s a project on dsource (druntime: 
http://dsource.org/projects/druntime) which is supposed to hold that 
common runtime. We didn’t really come to any conclusion because it still 
depends on Walter in some way and he wasn’t there. But apart from that, 
pretty much everyone was seeing the common runtime as the way to go.

Does that answer your questions? :)
